Stage II (torque cam) made a dramatic difference on the Breakout, really woke up the M8, so I'm doing that again. All HD SE under warranty
I'm tall, so though I'm afraid it'll be inadequately cheap like it was with the Breakout, I'm going to try the HD Tallboy seat. I have a feeling I'll be visiting Corbin soon after.
Heel shifter, since they don't include it anymore.
Electronics: Smart Siren and Bluetooth Wireless Headset Module
Custom Dynamics to replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs, and some added "filler" lighting in the spaces just inside the bags. Bright lighting = safety

I'm going to hold-off on considering other tall-guy adjustments until I ride it a bit. Possibilities include LRS windshield, highway pegs, foot control extensions, handlebars, ijn that order. Going to do it step-by-step and aim for the minimum needed for comfort.

Ugh, here I go again. Going to keep this one around longer than the last one.

Famous words, spoken by every H-D owner I ever knew. Words as worthless as New Year resolutions.

Beautiful ride.....enjoy it!!

Congrats!

Best of both worlds, get the 128" motor upgrade. Touring in comfort and spinning tires on the same Rig!
